Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's earlier dismissal of the Medusa as non-existent ('How can I kill something that doesn’t exist?') mirrors his recognition in Episode 10 that Jamie and Zoe are 'not real' and have been 'turned into fiction.' The same epistemological framework governs both episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback reinforces the Doctor's use of belief and disbelief as tools of resistance. His consistency underscores a character continuity: he prefers logic and truth over narrative manipulation, even when it costs him dearly.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
